Fontana stays perfect as late swings and close margins headline Week 7

With one week remaining in the regular season, the 2025 National Sporter Air Rifle League tightened across divisions. The nationwide circuit features high school teams and junior clubs competing in three-position air rifle matches. Each athlete fires 30 shots—10 kneeling, 10 prone and 10 standing—with decimal scoring, and each team’s total is drawn from its top four individuals. An eight-week regular season leads into a postseason that advances the top eight from the Champions division and the top two per conference in the Distinguished and Elite divisions.

No. 1 Fontana MCJROTC moved to 7-0, posting 1168.3 in a matchup where Mariner AJROTC did not post a score. North Brunswick AJROTC delivered 1166.6 in a decisive win over Ramona NJROTC, while Walton County Air Rifle stayed unbeaten at 6-0 behind 1144.9 against Space Coast SFJROTC. Zion Benton NJROTC turned in 1155.5 to cap a strong showing, and Palm Bay MCJROTC remained 5-1 following a bye. Among the weekend’s most competitive finishes, Stony Point NJROTC edged West Valley MCJROTC after the lead changed hands twice, and Conroe AJROTC pulled away late in a tight contest that pivoted in the standing series.
